Johnny Cash - Jacob Green chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
I found some chords for this song on various websites, and none of them sounded quite right to me. So, I decided to tweak them up a bit. These chords may not be 100% accurate, but they sound a lot better than the other chords floating around. These chords are, in specific, for the live version on the CD/DVD "A Concert Behind Prison Walls", but I'd imagine these, if slowed down, could apply to the version on the album "Murder". -Standard Tuning- -No Capo- -Chords Are Played As Follows- G: 320003 D: xx0232 C: x32010 [Intro] G [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/johnny-cash/328776.html ] [Verse 1] (G) Jacob Green got busted for possession D next morning early he appeared in court C But he was sent to jail to wait G C to be trialed at some later date G D Next morning early, there came a sad report G At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him D and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left C They cut of all his hair G C Today they found him hanging there G D G afraid to face the day he killed himself [Chorus] C D C G It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away C D Somewhere in some dirty hole that scene will be rerun C D C G Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen C G It could be someone that you love gets done D G like Jacob Green got done C G It could be someone that you love gets done D G like Jacob Green got done [Verse 2] Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers inspections and long inquiries were held The sheriff then retired and the papers said two guards were fired They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny inside you'll find corruption never seen And somewhere out there tonight In a dirty cell without a light There will be locked up another Jacob Green [Chorus] (End on G)  |
